This is a slightly non traditional take on tteokbokki.  For a more traditional version, use 350 g of rice cake, 150 g of fish cakes, and leave out the spinach.   


Ingredients

500 g (16 ounces) Korean Rice Cakes, separated

60 g onion (2 ounces), thinly sliced

1 tsp sesame oil

1/2 tbsp butter

1 tbsp strawberry jam

2 cups stock (dried kelp; dried anchovy; dashi; or plain water)

2 tbsp gochujang

1 tbsp sugar

1 tsp gochugaru (Korean chili flakes)

1 bunch spinach, stems removed

1 tsp toasted sesame seeds, optional

1 stalk green onion, finely chopped, optional

2 medium boiled eggs, halved

Instructions:

Unless your rice cakes are soft already, soak them in warm water for 10 mins.  In a large, deep pot, sauté onion in butter and sesame oil until soft and starting to caramelize.  Stir the strawberry jam into the cooked onions and sauté for 30 seconds.   Add the soup stock and bring to a boil over medium high heat.  Then, one at a time add the gochujang, sugar, and gochugaru stirring between each until is completely dissolved.  Once everything is added and the seasoned stock is boiling, add the rice cakes.  Boil for 3 to 5 mins until the rice cakes are fully cooked. Then add the spinach and simmer over low heat for a further 2 to 4 mins.  Split the tteokbokki into two dishes.  Add the eggs and any optional toppings (sesame seeds and green onion)

Serve warm!
